Admin_Logs
There are three separate logs in E107 2.0:
The admin log
The user log
The rolling log
They have distinct purposes.
In addition, there is the directory e107_files/logs, into which text-based log files may be written.
This log is to record the actions of system administrators.
In many cases there is no admin control over which events are logged; some plugins and core functions do provide the ability to control logging.
This log is to record user-related events - signups, setting changes, login and log out.
The level of logging is controllable - the types of events which are logged can be selected, as well as the user class.
This log is intended to record transient events - if enabled, older events are purged after a selected number of days. Certain core functions log information to the rolling log.
It is also useful for debugging, especially in circumstances where 'echo' statements will interfere with the programming flow.
The log of user downloads is available for viewing.
All the logs are accessible via the 'System Logs' admin option.
All the pages look similar, and at the top have various filters to allow selection of specific events.
The available filters depend on the log being viewed, and will be a selection of the following:
Start Date
End Date
Time Interval
User ID
IP Address
Event Type
Caller (Code)
Most display options show a single log.
One option combines the admin, user and rolling logs.
It also handles times to the resolution of the server (rather than the normal 1-second resolution). This can be useful for timing code, of observing the precise sequence of events.
